"Can I kiss you?" She asked him gently. Sixteen year old Dorcas Meadowes and seventeen year old Remus Lupin were out past curfew on a warm march night, under the stars and Dorcas couldn't help but bluntly ask the werewolf what she desired most at the moment.

"What?" Remus asked, his eyes were wide and he didn't bother to hide the blush that had overcome his cheeks, and quickly made its way down his neck and up his ears.

"Can-I-kiss-you?" Dorcas asked again. This time slower and her brown eyes didn't break contact with his golden ones.

"Why would you want to kiss me?" Remus asked earnestly. He didn't get why she, Dorcas Meadowes, the loud mouth, short tempered girl wanted to kiss a shy, book-worm, werewolf like himself.

"I like you, stupid," she told him with missing a beat.

"You like me?" Remus echoed and Dorcas rolled her eyes.

"No, I hate you." Remus snorted at her usage of sarcasm.

"So can I?" Dorcas asked again. Remus thought about it for a second. He liked her, a lot, but what if this messed up the friendship they were starting to build? But what if it didn't?

'Kiss her Moony!' A voice, one that sounded almost exactly like one of his best friends, Sirius Black, echoed in his head.

'Go on you duffer kiss you-you know you want to~' Sirius's disembodied voice sung in the back of his mind.

"Alright," Remus agreed and Dorcas smiled. Her head tilted towards Remus, and his head followed suit until her rosy pink lips meet his thin ones.

She tasted like strawberries and coffee, and muggle cigarettes. And he tasted like chocolate, pumpkin juice and that distinct taste every boy tasted of.

Her coffee colored hands threaded thru his light brown hair, and a hand went to the back of her neck, and the other went to her upper arm. Her tongue slipped into his mouth and Remus welcomed it.

Something in Remus's chest tightened as they pulled away for air, and the other Gryffindor smiled soundly.

Remus let out a heavy breath and ask he sucked it back in he looked to Dorcas and with a goofy grin asked:

"I can I kiss you this time?"
